This petition was also sent to the Office of Administrative Law, the state’s regulatory watchdog agency.In spite of an unanimously-decided Court of Appeal published opinion issued in February, and a permanent injunction issued weeks ago, Becerra’s DOJ continues to promulgate and enforce that same illegal underground regulation. Their stunning and troubling disregard for lawful court orders is contrary to the rule of law.Becerra’s weaponized Department of Justice regularly attacks the fundamental rights and property of law-abiding gun owners in law enforcement actions, their lobbying of the Legislature, and litigation.Indeed, Becerra and his army of anti-gun DOJ lawyers and special agents ignore the text of the Constitution and California’s statutes, forcing their anti-gun agenda on millions of people—the law and civil rights be damned.Becerra also recently said that, “in California, we believe our communities are safest when we have trust between our law enforcement & the communities they serve.” But such trust is impossible, and undeserved, when the state’s top law enforcement officer shows a total lack of regard for the People, their rights, and the laws he has a duty to follow and enforce fairly.If Attorney General Becerra and the Department of Justice want to build trust and be respected, they should start by being trust-worthy and giving respect to law-abiding gun owners and their fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms.Firearms Policy Coalition (www.firearmspolicy.org) is a 501(c)4 grassroots nonprofit organization. FPC’s mission is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, especially the fundamental, individual Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.]]>http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/05/19/1509077/0/en/FPC-Statement-Following-Tragic-Santa-Fe-High-School-Shooting-in-Texas.html?f=22&fvtc=4&fvtv=39273FPC Statement Following Tragic Santa Fe High School Shooting in Texas2018-05-19T00:34:24Z<![CDATA[Sacramento, CA, May 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Firearms Policy Coalition Statement Following Tragic Santa Fe High School Shooting in Texas:Earlier today, ten of our brothers and sisters in Texas died because craven politicians and the gun control lobby that feeds them would rather attack firearm owners and our rights than address the systemic issues that confront our nation today.]]>
